Toons called the other night:
Me: The local community college is offering a course on operating heavy machinery - D10 bulldozers, excavators, rollers. It's been a while, and I was thinking of brushing up.
Toons: Not a bad idea. You could wreak havoc.
Me: Definitely.
Toons: Everyone should, just to release tension. Otherwise you'll go postal.
Me: Is that worse than wreaking havoc?
Toons: Absolutely. . .
Next discussion: Does "going postal" by definition involve a heavily caliber weapon? And under what circumstances can "wreak havoc" be better rendered as "wreck havoc"?
